The whisky was shipped, General
Smith writing the hotel man that he
would be in the city in few DAYS to
collect the bill in person. In due time
he arrived in the Capital City and call

The hotel man met Mr.. Smith with a
laugh, and said:

than enough on that whisky to get
back your hotel bill; but I have made
a good thing out Of the whiskey any

soon as the two entered the saloon the
first thing pointed out to General
Smith was several posters hanging
over the counter, upon which, in rich
gold letters. was the following, "Gen-

General Smith, 1 have made 81 400

to his word, he has not since bought,

Schoolboy Blunders.

The subject of schoolboy's blunder's
has recently been agitated in various
directions, and the collected result is ex-
| ceedingly amusing. Some of the very
best instances of inadvertently happy
phrasing come from English boys, and
are recorded in the Cornhin magazine.
One youthful historian states, in e1-.
animation, that ga constitutional mon
arch is one who has good constitu-.
tion.".
Another seems trife vague about
the feudal system. and writes that sit
was law that every one should get up
at ga. NJ. to put out his fires Per-
haps philologist might think that the,
! boy was of French descent, from his
referring the word feud to feu-fre.
Passing on to the Bible history, we,
| find versions of the Beautitudes which.
differ from those generally received:
BLESSED are ye when men shall say
unto you, sRaca," and BLESSED are the
poor in spite of it.
A certain passage in Xenophon tells.
| us that 'on one occasion an the soldiers
escaped unhurt, but one man on the,
left wing was said to be shot" A.
translator, by transposing the words,
made the statement "that one was
said to. be shot on the left wing,'-
whereupon a clever boy aptly remark
ed; ''He must have been a goose
One pupil, who was asked to explain.
the meaning of the phrase, ''the last:
intirmity of noble minds,'' at once re-
piled the disease you die Of
Another youth defined s.guerdon' as
ga large fiat thing that you broil on.''
This probably seems funnier to an
Englishmen thanit does to ar American,
for the Englishman is apt to use
use the word grill instead of eridiron.
Another boy must have been suffer-
ing from pangs of hunger, for he wrote,
in answer to the question, what

His Last Whisky

The last and perhaps the only whisky
transaction General Green Clay Smith
ever had in his life came about in this
way Just before or about the close of
the war General Smith was in Washing
ton City. Engaging suite of rooms
at ono of the fashionable hotels, he had
sent to his rooms ten gallons of fine
"Old Crow" whisky that had been sent
to him by some friends in Kentucky.
The key was soon exhausted by the
Generals friends, save bottle or two
which he reserved in case of sickness or
snake-bite. When the General went to
settle his bill the account presented to
him ran thus: @..,,,- ....,as u, a., ~. =
To suite Of rooms one week. ......... $1,20O
To corkage forty bottles, at 40
Total. ,24O
General Smith glanced at the bill and
said to the hotel man: Twelve hum
dred dollars is an exhorbitant price for
the rooms, but viii pay it. The item
for corkage I will not pay, % you had
nothing whatever to do with the
whisky sent to my room and have no
right to charge corkage on it." Witha
stroke of his pen the hotel man Cancelled
the corkage item. General Smith drew
his check for 81, 200, and the receipted
bill was handed him. Upon the eve Of
leaving the city for Kentucky General
Smith presented the hotel man with
: bottle Of whisky, sas ing: i
..Here, want you to taste the whisky
you wanted to charge mo oorkage on. +"
The hotel man sampled it and pro-
nounoed II the best he had ever tasted,
at the Same time requesting General
Smith, Il possible, to purchase at least
five barrels q whisky for him a. soon

agreed to accommodate him and, bid
ding him good-by, came to Kentucky.

NIILLIE'S CONSENT.

Dick Nash paced slowly forward
and backward on the river bank in
front of the boat-house.
.'What the dickens do l want to 20

a wedding trip I'd better marry at
once, and, as the saying is, kill two
birds with one stone. But there is only
one girl for me-Millie Denton; and I
might just as well ask for the MOON"
Dick had just come to this conclusion
when, on looking up, he beheld the
object of his thoughtss coming toward
him.
"a good time to begin" thought he.
Mile came tripping along, her
golden hair tossed about by the wind;
her cheeks were rosy and her blue eyes
sparkling.
Dick appeared not to recognize her at
first: then looking up and favoring her
with little stare, he exclaimed:
"Why, it's Miller
"None other" laughed she.
"What brought you hereP"
"Oh, am looking for some one"
'Some one who belongs to the club,

The Committee appointed to act
as attorneys in fact for the Frankel
creditors, held meeting today and
after discussing the pros and cons
of the situation, concluded to with
draw from the prosecution of the
Frankel case. The action was ex-
pressive Of the wish of many credi-
tors, and was taken on these
grounds: The State pays an attor-
ney to do that work, and with the
preciuent Of the former trial before
him, he is amply able to conduct
the prosecution and rectify what
eyer errors of judgment have been
made; it is costing the creditors
gread deal of good money which
they do not think conditions make
it wise to continue-they In fact
consider it an abuse of their power
to do so. MANY Of the creditors
are poor men and they say: Ono
man has an interest in 81 ,00O and /
have an interest in $l0,0O0-it costs
me $40 to his 81 and l can't pay it;
